This is a ruby implementation of monte carlo method solutions to
(most of) the problems in Fifty Challenging Problems in Probability
with Solutions. The original book includes a lot of really neat
statistics to solve the problems. I'm of the opinion that many
applications of statistics are obsolete now that we have fast
computers; this work is a set of quick examples of where MC methods
are helpful.

I find it fascinating to read his original solutions while looking at
the source code. It's especially telling that it requires someone as
brilliant as Mosteller to solve the problems via statistics, while the
monte carlo versions can be whipped up by far less brilliant people
(even I can do it!).
